Ford Fusion Marks Best February Sales Ever; San Francisco and Los Angeles Sales More Than Double
Ford Media

  • Ford Fusion is achieving the fastest turn rates and the strongest sales momentum in California – the nation’s largest passenger car market
  • Fusion Hybrid retail sales up 556 percent in Los Angeles, Fusion’s largest hybrid market in the U.S.
  • Total Fusion sales nationwide up 28 percent last month compared to February 2012
  • Fusion sales increase in all regions of the country – L.A., up 115 percent; San Francisco, 102 percent; Atlanta, 51 percent; Houston, 73 percent; Miami; 114 percent and Orlando, 72 percent

DEARBORN, Mich., March 6, 2013 – With car inventories just beginning to meet consumer demand, the all-new 2013 Ford Fusion posted its best February sales month since the midsize sedan was introduced in 2006.

Ford Fusion posted record February sales totaling 27,875 vehicles, a 28 percent gain over last February’s record.

The all-time Fusion sales record was March 2012, when Ford sold 28,562 cars.

Not only is Fusion selling well nationwide, its volumes are growing very quickly in California and Florida markets, long strongholds for import manufacturers.

The Los Angeles and San Francisco markets in particular saw the strongest sales growth in the nation, with year-over-year increases of more than 100 percent.

While Texas has long been one of the leading sales markets for light-duty trucks, the Lone Star State – Houston in particular – is also one of the strongest midsize sedan markets in the country. Fusion sales there were up 73 percent last month compared to February 2012.

Even Southeast Florida, which represents one of the greatest markets for Ford growth in the United States, is sharing the nation’s love for Fusion. The Miami market saw its Fusion sales up 114 percent compared to last year, while Orlando is up 72 percent.

Fusion Hybrid sales skyrocket
While Fusion equipped with Ford fuel-efficient Eco Boost® engines continue to sell at a record pace, Fusion Hybrid sales are growing even faster.

Los Angeles is seeing skyrocketing demand for Fusion Hybrid, with sales up more than 600 percent year-over-year. Part of the reason is fuel economy; while Toyota Camry Hybrid achieves just 41 mpg in combined city and highway fuel economy estimates on EPA tests, Fusion returns a 47 mpg in city/highway and combined EPA estimated ratings.

With the recent addition of the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid vehicle, Ford is offering the widest range of fuel efficiency technologies in the quickly growing midsize sedan segment, which is the largest market in the U.S. behind small cars.

At this pace, the Fusion could sell in the 30 something K numbers a month.... Are the Hermosillo and USA plants ready for this level of demand??? Or will happen the same as is heppening with the MK Z ??? I hope Ford could build 35000 Fusions a month in the near term.
